| Description of the problem | My 2007 nissan x-terra began suffering cross contamination of transmission fluid and radiator fluid around 88,000 miles. I have had to have the radiator replaced, the radiator lines flushed twice and i am still having a problem with the radiator trying to overheat due to the cross contamination. In addition to the radiator i have had transmission issues as a result of electronic module failures in the transmission. I contacted nissan about this matter and they notified me the warranty had been extended but i was still outside the warranty extension and that it would cost me close to $5,000 out of my pocket to replace the transmission and radiator. I have already spent almost half that trying to fix this vehicle and continue to have issues. Nissan has a product defect and should have to stand behind this issue. |
